That''s nice, Thom. We had horrendous winds here yesterday so bad that =
when arriving home after work, we were met by police cars cordoning off =
our property...two utility poles, one on each side of the raod, ahd =
collapseddraffing wires all around. So, rather than going home and =
letting the dog out, we went out to dinner and busied ourselves =
elsewhere until we could get back up our deiveway without getting =
electrocuted. Then we had to spend several hours with the hurricane =
laterns lit while the work crews put up two new poles and restrung what =
they could. They were out there again this morning finishing up, or so =
we thought....seems that they're going to have to come back one more =
time. And the wind blew part of the gutter system off the front of the =
house so that had to be pciked up out of the yard. And my ornamental =
Japanese plum tree split taking out the portion that was the crown, so =
that will have to be chopped out and replaced....And this is only the =
beginning of March....maybe the snow was better....
